European Ministers Agree To Fortify Blockade Of Migrants’ Balkans Route

BELGRADE – Ministers from 15 European countries have agreed to come up with new measures to ensure that the so-called Western Balkans route to the European Union remains shut for migrants.

Austrian officials said on February 8 that the 15 countries will draw up plans by April to close remaining gaps on their mostly closed borders to seal the blockade of the route, which attracted millions of migrants in 2015 but has been largely shut since early 2016.

Kosovo is Serbia, morons. If someone robs you of your valet, it is still your valet, even if it’s in the thief’s pocket, it does not belong to him. The only relevant document, UN Resolution 1244 says Kosovo is Serbia – and the UN NATO “mission” (read: occupation) of this part of Serbia is, according to international and any other civilized law, is illegal, as the concession was extorted by use of force and threats. Is all this good enough reason to use a couple more of appropriate words, such as “self-proclaimed” or, better yet, “US-proclaimed state of Kosovo”? I would say so. Btw. calling BiH, ruled by foreigners, a state, is a joke. I thought this was a serious news outlet.
